    There's another pub inside O'Donoghue's? Jaysus - did O'Donoghue's go on a mad pub eating rampage or something and devour a load of other watering holes? :eek:

    :D Shurrup!

    Wait until they all die then build one for all of them there is a recession on after all.

    I had much more time for Luke Kelly's singing but a statue to both of them or The Dubliners would be a nice addition to the Dublin landscape, insofar as statues of mere mortals have any purpose at all. But that's another issue.

    yeah, exactly, why have a statue to someone who didn't blow anybody up :rolleyes:

    a Ronnie Drew Petting Zoo would be nicer.

    It doesn't seem to be up online yet Tom either ways. Great show though. Interview with Ronnie re: Luke. Some of the techies here will sort it for you i'm sure.

    Programme on Luke Kelly on RTÉ 1 at the moment, 18 August 2009. It's called simply 'Luke'. They are now talking about his massive funeral and how "all Dublin stopped" (Des Geraghty). Phil Coulter, Christy Moore, Bono, Gerry Adams and a whole slew of people are contributing to it.

    That s it Tom. After watching it I'm sitting back now having a can and listening to a bit of Luke. What a legend. Excellent documentary as well.

    Hi,ya brummy,i am not teasing i swear,it was excellant.

    He died aged just 44,i could not believe that:(

    proxys are a bit dodgy,a lot of them are fronts for accesing all your files passwords etc.

    there are some genuine ones but are mainly for the Chinese to by-pass censorship there,also they do not support streaming video in most cases.

    there is a good one i know of that does the biz,the trial period is only for three days and limits you to an American ip.

    im not sure if i can post its name as it is pay software,but you can choose to appear to be in almost every country to watch their players with the full version.
    if you are interested i can PM you its name.
    cheers.

    I watched it about a year ago but had forgotten about it until tonight - just started watching it again; it's great.

    God bless kellyoneill for uploading it (anyone who's ever watched a video of Luke on youtube has probably watched a video she's uploaded)


    EDIT: Cheers ynotdu, but I've got it now.. no need for pesky proxys :P
